Hello. im looking for a power fc for my toy but im a little unsure. my car is r33 s2 sedan, it was auto nut i converted it the best i could. i was wondering do i buy a manual power fc? im also wondering if any of my back yard wiring will effect it. ive got reverse lights and neutral switch and inhibitor switch working. also do i have to find a s2 r33 power fc or are they all the same? is there any other things i need to think about before i buy? ure experiance and help would be appreciated. thanks nik.

It shouldn't be a problem. no such thing as an auto PFC anyway. Did you change the loom at all? if not then plug and play.

From what i've heard, not sure if its true; you can run a PFC in an Auto but it doesn't pull timing on shifts and will destroy the box in a week or so. So don't worry about your wiring and give it a go

ok guys and girls, i have a poblem. im 2300kms from a experianced tuner. i have a dyno and inexperianced operator. its cheaper to let my engine go bang and go back to stock than go to perth for a tune. i have rb25det , power fc, stock turbo, 255 fuel pump, freddy manifold, spitfres, fpr800, oil cooler,fmic,ngk gapped. puck clutch, lightened flywheel, stock injectors, stock afm. k an n pod filter. 3 inch cat bak. hks ssq bov, alloy radiator. what i can tell my tuner about power fc tunining. its hot in the dessert. im chasing 190rwkw.. i need him to get his head around my car setup and power fc befor i go for the big puffer, injectors afm 044 and 6 boost. .i need a list of a few things i can relay to him in a nice mannor about power fc tuning with out being a know it all and or hurting his tuning pride. i have no options here, it is what it is.afms? timing? nvcs? fuel pressure? boost bar? somthing to look out for that could hurt progress. keep it basic please so i can reach my mid term goal and my tuner can build his confidence. (with out me knowing). apparently hes worked on a few sr20s in sileightys with power fcs. thats good right? haha. and my mates brothers sister inlaw is doing there dads hemi big block 500ci for bathurst next year.

i do remote tunes, you buy the gear and we will get your car sorted over a 3g connection.

here is one i was doing a while ago.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
